>What is your opinion on obese people that became obese due to genetics, eating disorders, or other health issues.
I think 'genetics' and eating disorders are pretty much the same thing here.
There is a lot to be said for the fact that fat parents have fat kids, it's not universal but a great number of those kids are just overfed rather than there being an issue with their genes. They *could* be a different weight if they'd had better a diet growing up or were taught not to be a lardass but it's all they know and changing to normal mode now feels like starvation to them because they're so used to consuming too much. Obviously some people learn along the way or get control of their own diet and things change (kid goes to college runs low on cash and gets skinny etc) but some never change, never economise or think to live ascetically because it's not required of them.
Ultimately I think by the time you can cook for yourself if kids don't start taking control of what they eat within a few years of that, they have no-one to blame but themselves, they could control their intake at that point and it's kind of their duty to do so so they're not pining like a damn bird with it's mouth open waiting for someone else to chew for them.
Teens once you're 15/16 you should be on top of that shit. I have limited sympathy up to about 19 then utterly fuck you if you're still fat past then.
'Other health issues' is a bit vague but I'd point out that one can live a sedentary lifestyle and hit maintenance calories for a decade or more without trying and with virtually no exercise. It's ALL diet, it's just that they don't understand what 'a diet' is, that it's not privation and that they don't last a week, or 3 months or whatever, they have to last a lifetime to get them on the right track.
